Establishing a Baseline

The purpose of this presentation is to provide guidelines on how to establish a baseline for area observation. Emergency responders, security professionals, security support staff, and the public must work together to identify suspicious objects, substances, and people. To find something abnormal or suspicious first requires an understanding of the normal or expected. This is called establishing a baseline for the area or event.
